Twin Peaks Tea Garden
The China National Tea Museum is located opposite a large tea garden in Shuangfeng Village on the west lake, and the museum is quiet and quiet, with birds and flowers. Free time to go around the Tea Museum, enjoy leisure time, enjoy the slow life.
I originally thought that the West Lake Longjing tea was the tea on Longjing Mountain and the real Longjing tea.
After walking around the tea gardens around the West Lake, I learned that Longjing, Twin Peaks, Manjuelong, Meiling and other large areas have been planted with tea trees for hundreds of years, and the tea leaves around the West Lake and Longjing are collectively called West Lake Longjing Tea.
I remember going to the Hangzhou Air Force Sanatorium in 2012 for a physical examination, and I took a taxi with my colleagues to Longjing Village to taste authentic Longjing tea.
Transparent glass in an upright tea shoot, open weak leaves, with my experience of picking tea when I was a child, I know that this is a good cup of tea, after tasting it, I bought half a kilogram of tea leaves, spent 1250 yuan, this is my only experience of buying tea. In fact, it is really a waste for a person who does not drink tea much, and after bringing it back, because theophylline makes me insomnia, I can only bear the pain and give it away.
Tea, for me, is dispensable, and I have not gone to know more, but tea culture is prevalent, more or less passively receiving information about tea, thinking that I still have some understanding of tea culture.
However, yesterday I went to the China Tea Museum to let me understand that just by virtue of my previous understanding of tea, it is probably a drop of water in the sea.
After reading the history of tea, I understood that tea began in the Tang Dynasty, was widely spread by the tea saint Lu Yu, and authored the first tea monograph in the history of Chinese tea, "Tea Classic". Tea maker, Nanbu No.D. Akiya. One foot, two feet or even dozens of feet... On the shoots, on the buds; on the leaf rolls, on the leaves...
Pu-erh tea
Hundreds of years ago, the tea saint has already told us the shape of the tea tree, the good times of tea. Just how many people who drink tea can read the tea scripture and understand the history of tea? After reading the history of tea, continue to the tea hall.
An ancient tea extraction tool
Tea extracts, however, have been familiar since childhood, and a few decades ago, the only mechanized tea factory in our village was a tea factory.
Before and after the Qingming Dynasty, every household, young and old, all went to the back mountain to pick tea, tied a small tea bun on the waist, kept tying the top of the tea into the tea bun with both hands, and the small tea bun was full and then poured into the big tea, and half a day's time could probably pick a 10 or so catties, and a pound of tea gave a dime or so. At noon, when I was sent to the tea factory to pass the scale, I liked to watch the large tea tray slowly turn, like to smell the aroma of tea in the air, and take a deep breath to refresh the heart.
Adults and children with the money earned from picking tea blossomed happily, even if their hands were so painful that they were covered with tape, their faces were full of smiles, because there were not many opportunities to earn money at that time.

Seven things to open the door: chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea. Although tea ranks last, it is also very important in the hearts of the people. Since the popularity of tea from the Tang Dynasty began, to the Song Ming and Qing dynasties until the modern prevalence, I believe that many people are like me, the more familiar is probably the more famous Da Hong Pao, TieGuanyin, Pu'er, Longjing, etc., after reading the varieties on both walls on display, I know that there are more than a dozen kinds of Maojian tea leaves.
